    Delivery of purchases online

    I would suggest booking with a hotel in one of the larger towns and then asking the hotel if they would be able to receive a package for you before you arrive. I live outside the USA and whenever I fly back for work I do this with all kinds of stuff. You will have a much easier time not dealing...

    Finances to Feet

    Albergue Haizea is in Espinal, which is right after Roncesvalles. I haven't stayed there but it looks quite nice and the price is very good. https://planetofhotels.com/en/spain/espinal-auzperri/albergue-haizea

    Women's tall/petite/extended sizing clothes find

    For leggings and shorts look at www.marika.com. They have plus sizes and when I wore a 2x I loved their leggings. They're really durable too.

    Women's tall/petite/extended sizing clothes find

    I'm 6'1 and by necessity become a master at finding tall clothing and also in plus sizes. I'm also shaped like a fertility statue. The struggle to find activewear is real.

    I'm still working out the exact dates but I will be starting in June, probably around the same time and same place! Flying in from Abu Dhabi.

    Camino after weight loss surgery

    Yes I do eat meat! Sausage or jerky kind of things are probably a good fit. I try and avoid "fake food" like granola bars as much as possible and eat real food. As far as I'm concerned protein bars are basically a snickers bar.

    Camino after weight loss surgery

    Hello all! I'm considering walking my first Camino this year, walking the French way in June. In November 2021 I had weight loss surgery and afterwards lost over 60 kilos. I have about 30 more to lose and still going! I'm not at all worried about whether I can physically do the Camino as I can...
